It drives me absolutely crazy to have descriptions and descriptions throughout many many pages with no dialogue. Actually my favorite romances were because of great dialogue between hero and heroine. It can be sexy/funny/playful/sarcastic whatever but I really wish authors would add more of it.
I think one of the most important aspects about falling for a couple is that they show that they can communicate with each other better than with anyone else. Well describing for pages their feelings without any interaction is beyond annoying.
So with that said anyone have great recommendations for good romances that just had really wonderful dialogue?

I know what you mean. I have trouble with this, too. I also enjoy books more when the couple have other characters to "bounce" off of and dialogue with, so that it is not just the two of them for a majority of the time. I want to see how they relate to each other and the people around them.

For me, a good author brings in secondary characters to round out her story and her character development of the leads.

One author who balances this well is Elizabeth Hoyt. Her characters have moments of reflection, but they go places and do things and talk to people and have multiple conversations, as do her secondary characters.

Thanks so much,

I have to admit, this drives me crazy too. In the contemporary world, sexy/funny/playful/sarcastic and even "whatever" draws me to Julie James every time. Her last book did not contain as much of her trademark dialogue as her first four, but if you haven't tried them they definitely have what you are looking for. Her first book, "The Sexiest Man Alive," was originally written as a screenplay which she couldn't sell. It still reads very much like a screenplay, but it remains one of my favorite reads.

I second the recommendation of "What I did for a Duke." I loved the dialogue between the h/h. Some of it was laugh out loud witty, some of it was really poignant, some was really sexy. All of it demonstrated why these two people clicked, fell in love, and belonged together, despite a significant age difference.

One of the reasons I like Eloisa James and Jennifer Crusie is because I like the dialogue in their books so much. Sometimes I think I like their dialogue because it sounds like my friends and me, but the characters in the books talk that way for page after page, whereas in Real Life I only sound that smart and funny for five minutes every few weeks.
